Up-and-coming actor Shin Dong-wook has appeared in a Japanese
TV drama as a detective.

In the drama, Shin says all his lines in Japanese, which he says
helped him realize that language is just a means of communication
and which had opened a new world to him.

Shin says he felt comfortable using Japanese while shooting the
drama because the Japanese and Korean languages have much in common.
The actor added that unlike Korean dramas, which are shot quickly
but have longer scenes, Japanese dramas have shorter scenes and
thus require more concentration.
